ECOSOC Partnership Forum 2022 Side Event, 2 February 2022 Book Launch by the Geneva Consensus Foundation
Description
Measuring Sustainable Development Goals Performance provides a quantitative and analytical framework for evaluating social, economic, and environmental policies aiming at the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Continuing their earlier work on multidimensional analysis, the authors demonstrate how nations can be ranked in terms of their performance in meeting a given set of SDGs, providing numerical calculation of SDGs deficit. Their calculations show that even before the arrival of the COVID-19 virus, there existed in several large Western nations undetected pockets of SDG deficits, such as in the care for the elderly, personal safety, and hygiene. Extending the calculations to cover COVID-19 data for 2020, it turns out that the same deficit nations also suffered excess death rates caused by the virus. This book offers a balanced and holistic paradigm for evaluating progress of the SDGs, assisting the convergence of national and international efforts toward economic development, social progress, and environmental protection.
Key Features
- Includes novel tools, procedures, diagnostics, and metrics for evaluating the entire spectrum of SDGs in a wide variety of settings
- Ranks nations according to their social and economic performance, based on each nation's unique resource and output indicator
- Examines international efforts toward shaping a new Social Contract between global partners
- Delivers a new Calculus of Consent: Logical foundation for forging Geneva Consensus for Sustainable Development
